And what do we mean by optimization? &#128640;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, optimization refers to how well your website works. For instance, all pages should load quickly, and any interactive elements, like forms, buttons, and checkouts, should function without any issues. Similarly, any images and videos should load right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web optimization is crucial because it determines the quality of the <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/improve-user-experience\/\">user experience (UX)<\/a>. In turn, this impacts the success of your website. That&rsquo;s because a poor-performing website is more likely to leave visitors frustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, poor performance affects how your website ranks in <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-serp\/\">search results<\/a>. That means it can prevent your site from reaching a wider audience and growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, it&rsquo;s important to note that no matter what platform you use to create your site &ndash; a website builder, <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-a-content-management-system-cms\/\">content management system (CMS)<\/a> or otherwise &ndash; it&rsquo;s likely designed to perform optimally out-of-the-box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as you customize and add to your website, it will lose some of this optimization. Of course, this will depend on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128073; For example, a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/start-a-personal-blog\/\">personal blog<\/a> with minimal frills and photos will stay much closer to its original form than, say, an ecommerce site with lots of products and rich media files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, when it comes to optimization tools, images are often a priority. That&rsquo;s because high-quality image files tend to be heavy, taking up a lot of space and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px

style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"key-features\">Key features &#9881;&#65039;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s start by putting <a href=\"https:\/\/optimole.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Optimole<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-smushit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smush<\/a> head-to-head in terms of key features. For starters, both are image optimization plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is great, since Google considers slow-loading images a key performance issue <sup data-fn=\"236b2595-8e59-4cae-8181-498daea13977\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"236b2595-8e59-4cae-8181-498daea13977-link\" href=\"#236b2595-8e59-4cae-8181-498daea13977\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Still, each tool offers a unique set of image optimization features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128073; Here are some of the notable features you get with Optimole:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support for multiple file types (images, videos, audio, documents, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully automated, optimizing images on the fly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compression powered by machine learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image resizing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serves images from a global <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/image-cdn\/\">content delivery network (CDN)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lazy loading and adaptive images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support for popular <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/page-builder-in-wordpress\/\">page builders<\/a> like Elementor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that Optimole offers superior image management. It compresses your images on the fly and based on your device. Plus, it always keeps the original versions of images in your cloud-based media library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128073; Now, here are some of Smush&rsquo;s standout features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Image resizing and compression<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/lazy-loading\/\">lazy loading<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lossless compression<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bulk optimization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support for <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-image-format\/\">PNG, JPEG, and GIF<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Runs on the WPMU DEV Smush API<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, Smush and Optimole offer a lot of similar functionalities. However, it&rsquo;s worth noting that compression by Smush is irreversible. That means you&rsquo;ll lose the original versions of your media files after the tool modifies them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, with Smush, you can only optimize images that are 5 MB or below. Meanwhile, Optimole doesn&rsquo;t limit compression levels.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"ease-of-use\">Ease of use &#128080;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, let&rsquo;s consider Optimole and Smush in terms of their usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, both Optimole and Smush are compatible with WordPress.

Our test site is a WooCommerce store built using the Storefront theme. It&rsquo;s complete with sample data for products. So, it includes plenty of content and images for testing out our optimization tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a testing tool, we used the reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/pagespeed-insights-vs-lighthouse\/\">PageSpeed Insights<\/a> by Google. Before conducting our test, we made sure to disable any optimization plugins the web host included by default. Here&rsquo;s how our site scored without any optimization tools installed:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-opt-id=1033441121
